So much for Spring

OK, I know I am whining here, but today is the first full day of Spring, and it is SNOWING and SLEETING here. After such a long, brutal winter, is it too much to ask to not have snow once Spring arrives? And today is not just a fluke--it is supposed to be cold all week, with more snow coming. I have had enough, already!!!
How about where you live? Has Spring actually arrived, or are you stuck with Winter weather again?

I am sorry to hear that from you! We had a terrible time here with ice and snow and I know how you feel I thought it would never end! But it has been really nice here lately! I am loving it! But today is kind of cloudy but the temperatures are finally nice here! In the 70's and 80"s I love it!!

Very nice! We did have one 70-degree day, but it's back to 30s and 40s and rain, sleet and snow. I will enjoy your nice weather vicariously through you, since we're not getting any more sun for the rest of the week.

Oh yeah, it is so disappointing. The first 2 days of Spring were even colder than last week of Winter. Snowy, chilly, poor visibility. We had struggled through the hard winter, and have been looking forward to the first day of Spring. All it brought was more snow !

I guess I shouldn't complain then--we had one nice day before Winter came back! It's been raining/snowing/sleeting/hailing all week. It's snowing now, as a matter of fact.

Hi. Suzieqmom. It was 80 degrees today. It was very warm with a slight breeze too. It will be warm all of this week. But I am not taking any chances with this weather, because it will be cooler very soon again. I know that the weather hasn't quite change to Spring just yet. It was cool on Sunday. I woke up and my house was very cool inside. It was very cool outside too. The Spring season may be here by the date, but by the climate and temperature it is not quite here just yet.

That sounds beautiful! It is 30 degrees here and snowing AGAIN today. Plus, we have a severe thunderstorm warning in effect, with potential for massive flooding. . .we did have about 1 hour of sunshine yesterday, I guess that was our Spring!

I heard it come spring. I have not seen it yet, but the calendar. Oh, and I got some freesias and hyacinths, as evidence of her arrival. But this spring, has left me ... cold. I tried to mimic the joy, happiness, believing that through self-suggestion and I feel I succeed. Every morning I wake up and say: "Today I have a good day. I will enjoy the sun, flowers, trees shoot forth .. Ah! Necessarily do not forget to watch today when trees began to sprout. "But every day I forget, nor I to phase out autosuggestion. And I'm trouble, I feel somewhat obligated to feel anything because all around me, everyone and everything seem to feel ... something, but myself. Close your eyes, gather much from them, I focus on the "spring" .... nothing! It has not come yet, but I wait!

Keep trying--we need Spring to arrive! It is hard to feel motivated when it is as cold and dark during the day as it is at night!

I know snow must seem wonderful to you, but after so many snowstorms this year, it has lost its lustre here, believe me--even for the kids!

That's the biggest problem with this changing weather--everyone in the house keeps getting sick! BTW, it's snowing again today. . .

Yeah... it is talking about snowing here as well but I doubt itwill be anything crazy. Spring just started offically yesterday and the temperature just dropped way down... yea so much for the spring. We're in Mass here and it feels lower than 40 degrees out.

Winter has been rude here -- I had an inch of snow in my garden, and it happens only every 5 or ten years in this area --, but it is definitely spring since two or three weeks. I send you a hot ray of sunlight via the net. Hope it works -- in March everything is possible with the weather --.

Thank you! I hope it can make it through the thick wall of clouds! Enjoy your Spring!
